Has anyone else generated the Topic Properties report from
the Tools menu, and noticed that the report only haphazardly
includes some requested data? For example, from the Options menu
for the report, I selected simply the Topic, the MapID, and any
Conditional Build tags. There are about 2700 topics in the project.
The resulting report did display some mapID info, but not for every
topic that has one. It seemed like less than 50% accuracy there. I
did go to some of these topics and confirm that yes, they do indeed
have a map ID attached to them.

Just checking that you are not filtering on an author or
folder as this is a easy trap to fall into
Also it is worth compiling the output before you run
the report. If you still believe there are problems
report
this to Adobe.

Good morning, Colum. Nope, that's not the problem. The topics
are appearing in the report. All of them - I didn't use any author
or folder filter at all. BUT - the MAPIDs that are assigned to
topics (and yes, I have verified that, indeed, they are assigned,
and they do work in compiled Help with the application - many of
these topics have been around for years) are not appearing in the
report with the topic listing. Some do, many do not. No real rhyme
or reason why some IDs appear and some do not, as far as I can
tell. Even topics within the same folders have differing results -
some appear with ID, some do not.

Looks like it just isn't my day. I need that report. Good
thing there is a potluck TGiving silly-bration going on around me.
Gonna go drown myself in some mac-n-cheese.
